MODERN TRADITIONAL PROJECT REVEAL

We recently wrapped up our Modern Traditional project and it is one of our favorite projects to date! Located in Downers Grove, Illinois, this project was a complete remodel and every single item in this space was sourced by the Peppeard Design Team - furniture, rugs, accessories, you name it!

If you know us, you know how much we love working with color, wallpaper and different textures so to be able to do this for 17 ROOMS (yes, you read that correctly!), was a total dream come true.

We can’t forget about the exterior!  We went with a fresh set of paint on the brick and added final touches with custom colors for all of the shutters and doors.  This wrapped up the entire space perfectly and provided our clients with the complete home remodel they were looking for.

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR KITCHEN ONLY USING PAINT

Do you ever look at a room in your house and think, “I need to completely change this entire space and I need to do it now!”  Well, I bring you our latest kitchen transformation…my personal kitchen!

I knew I wanted to freshen up the space, but I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do.   After going back and forth I finally decided to do a total kitchen cabinet paint remodel. Doing this would accomplish my two top priorities - give the space a brand new look and save a ton of money!

As you will see in the before pictures (below) all our cabinetry was bright and white.  While I truly did love this look, the scuffs and marks were becoming more and more visible on the white.  Since I had already decided to commit to painting everything, I figured why not go big and bold with Sherwin Williams Riverway 6222. It was the perfect blue for the space.  I was able to keep the original hardware, lighting and appliances, but still making the space look completely different just with updating the paint.

BOHO CHIC BEDROOM TRANSFORMATION

We recently completed a bedroom makeover for a 15 year old girl who loves fashion, design and hanging out with her friends. Her previous room did not have a specific style - dark walls, off-white furniture, and a long couch as a space to hang out with friends.

She wanted a completely different look for her new space and decided to go with a boho chic style. You know over here at Peppeard Design we LOVE color and texture so this project was right up our alley.

Our first step was to brighten up the walls so that we could utilize pops of color with the furniture, decor and artwork.

For the bed we went with a beautiful, blue upholstered bed. The one we used for this project was from World Market and is no longer sold online, but we did fine this gorgeous bed that is another one of our favorites. We kept the bedding white so we could incorporate colored and patterned throw pillows to compliment the blue frame. Just because we wanted to keep it white doesn’t mean it had to be plain. We found this beautiful pom duvet from Target that added just the right amount of texture.

Now the rug. This was actually our main source of inspiration for the entire space and is one of our favorites. It is a gorgeous Loloi rug and perfectly frames the space, while adding just the right amount of color without feeling too busy.

For artwork, we wanted to keep it slightly youthful, but feminine and sophisticated. We chose pieces that still included color, but went on the lighter side to keep the walls bright and airy.

For some additional boho chic touches, we included a light fringe lamp shade and some decorative woven baskets (click here for similar basket).

This incredible green desk was a piece that was previously in the space that we decided to keep. We thought the color was so much fun and fit perfectly with all of the other pieces of furniture we selected.

Now, for our favorite part (and our client’s), the window seat area. Having a space where she could spend time with friends was very important so we knew we needed to elevate the area and do something a little different than just a couch. We chose these two hanging chairs (click here for similar chairs) and are in LOVE with how they completed the space.
